Are we allowed to use the option-on/off commands?
Dialogs, in my opinion, allways seem a bit...fake if you don't use them...

Minimi

yes yes you can, I just didn't use it in the example... I'll change the example! I agree that option on and off is vital to a dialog.

It is now 10PM...I have just finished writing up my dialog and sending it to you...
My ears feel hot...my eyes hurt...

what about the contestants making a short game with only dialogs just to showcase those dialogs so we can go through them and play with the options?

For some bizzarre reason, I don't think the Dialog Competition has been a success.  Maybe next month should go back to just writing plots?  I enjoyed that set of rules.

I'd kinda like to see a proper trailer competition, and since MAGS doesn't really allow for non game based rules, I think you could host a pretty cool one. Otherwise, maybe just another plot competition?
